the greatest voices will have and always have come out of the Gospel Black Churches, we must fight back against the mediocrity we hear today being peddled as talent. ALL LEGENDS ALL GREAT ALL LIVE

[@jackieborden5041]

I love each and everyone of these gospel singers.

[@forresttodd1660]

This is my all time favorite from any awards show. It took me awhile to find it. Now I listen to it all the time.

[@keithturner1303]

I grew up listening to every artist on this stage this is my childhood on center stage, but my favorite is Tramaine Hawkins she was in her prime right here give me chills!.

[@venetiabrown2429]

Keith Turner I watch this performance always. Those voices of the Gospel greats are just spectacular. Their voices really touched my soul. They brought it!

[@reneerobinson9752]

Yessir. And Andre Crouch is my mom's childhood friend. He and his sister are from Dallas. Grew up in Lighthouse C.O.G.I.C...so did Yarborough and Peoples...Was still in contact with my Big Mama after they went to secular Music as the old heads say...And Tremaine babbbyyyy....Holy One Yes Yes

[@katyarnold6757]

Just phenomenal!!!!!!!! gospel singing!!!!! just anointed voice from God. God bless all theses gospel great!!!

[@ceds.9592]

Pastor Caesar preach that thang now. Then, you got the great Vanessa or VBA coming in with this soaring glissando and holding that piercing note. Bishop Winans and Ms. Hawkins exchange was just spectacular. They were the perfect pair. Ms. Hawkins gone head and growl for us. Notice everything still sounding in tack when they went Acapella and the old church clapping was everything. Sometimes clapping and stomping in the black church is our only form of percussion. This was everything and really church. This was church and fellowship. The whole stage sounded so good. Let’s not forget to mention that they all looked good and dressed down. Everybody on stage got class, and I’m living for it! Enjoy this everytime I watch.

[@chaplainfred]

Cant get enough of these beautiful men and women!!!!

[@Ike1702]
